    You're not voting for Pete because he's boring and has no real ideas. The idea of voting for a candidate just because you identify with his/her skin color or orientation is stupid, and part of what gave us Dump.

      Good grief, grow up. Talk about what Jimmy Dore correctly addressed. It’s not fake news or conspiracy bull****.

      Part of the problem in this discourse is people who don’t think or don’t want to think just blurt out “conspiracy theorist!!!” “Tin foil hatter!”

      What Dore said is accurate and demonstrably so.

      Also, I for anyone that throws around the CT term do you know where that originated and who created that term?

          Agreed. The neighborhoods vary greatly. I'll answer using the two neighborhoods that are the most dangerous, Frogtown (StP) and North (MPLS)

          1. North
          2. North

          I use the term dangerous because the area around Lake and Hiawatha in MPLS technically has more crime, but North has more violent crime.

            Naa, you're not a homophobe, you're white!

            Seriously, you and Fade are right, voting for someone based purely on some perceived identity trait you share is what gets us ridiculous politicians. Then again, I did vote for Obama largely because he was black... Of course I bowl and play hockey left-handed and play golf and baseball right-handed so I'm a little messed up.

              Why would you go to a party in Cambridge?

              Buy a house: Cambridge - pretty much completely gentrified at this point. Chance you get a cool neighbor like Lizzy Warren if you've got 10M bucks to buy the property site unseen near Harvard Square.

              Party: Boston. Whether you're hanging with hipsters or Good Will Hunting dudes you can always talk sports and everybody's in a good mood because they're either killing it on salary (hipsters) or killing it on appreciation in property values (Good Will Hunting dudes).

                It certainly has that reputation. I'd also say that in terms of going out for a night on the town, pretty much everyone does that in Minneapolis as there isn't as much of a scene for it in SP.

                  I don't think Biden has money enough to go all the way, barring winning a couple states and getting the cash spigot turned on.

                  I guess he could always ask Ukraine for help.

                    The only times it's been thrown out regularly on this board are for flaggy and you. But nothing I say is going to dissuade you since I'm a proud member of a state bureaucracy, so whatever. I'm not clicking on random links from you, though. You've posted too much batshiat insanity to have earned that trust.

                      I'd imagine that's a bunch of stiffs sitting around sipping wine, exactly like the party scene in Legally Blonde.

                        Even Cambridge has different neighborhoods

                        Porter sq isn’t Harvard sq. Central sq is edgier than both.

                          (2) Now let's say you are going to a party in one, sight unseen. Which do you pick?

                          For example: The City vs Brooklyn

                          (1) Manhattan
                          (2) Brooklyn

                          DC vs Baltimore

                          (1) DC
                          (2) Baltimore

                          Boston vs Cambridge

                          (1) Cambridge
                          (2) Cambridge
                          The money is in Minneapolis. The entire commercial district is laid out in pretty much of a perfect grid of one way streets that look like a soduku puzzle from above. A lot of expensive condos and tall office buildings filled with lawyers and bankers. The NFL, NBA and MLB stadiums are in downtown Minneapolis. Surrounding the commercial district are the hipster neighborhoods. Most of the theater district is found in Minneapolis.

                          St. Paul feels like Boston when you are driving. Roads just go in whatever direction they want to, for no particular reason. Jesse Ventura was correct when he said it looks like it was laid out by drunken Irishmen. The commercial district is a lot smaller, and a whole lot less money, but it contains the state capitol and the surrounding office structures. It is also where the NHL hockey arena is located. When you go to a professional baseball game (at a very nice stadium) in downtown St. Paul, it will be minor league baseball and a pig will deliver the baseballs to the umpire. I personally think it's more fun to party in downtown St. Paul than Minneapolis, but of course I'm a hockey guy.

                          The University of Minnesota (and the Mississippi River) divide the two.
                          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                            That ranking doesn't necessarily demonstrate it's 'lily white'.

                            *FYI St. Paul was 29th.

                                All else being equal (and it isn't) this decision comes down to smart vs dumb. Cambridge you're very likely in good shape. You might step into money and be bored but, hey, those girls are already paid for.

                                Boston... just no. What, I'm gonna talk to Boston Rob about Contractualism or The BU Chick with the Cum in Her Hair about anything, including (especially) how it got there? Just no.

                                I'm pretty sure we don't go to the same parties, so YMMV.
